Greatest 1st post in the history of Uibhfhaili.com. Up there with the best of them, absolutely. I remember Silken Thomas coming storming out of the blocks too (https://www.uibhfhaili.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=12485#p12485) but the uibhfhaili.com underage system seems to have thrown up a potential ...

Silken Thomas had some great content on this forum, but Offaly's Future lives long in the memory.

He retired young after going for the heavyweight belt a couple of times.

Lads like Offaly's Future combust rather than retire!

Glendassaun has done a great job with his very informative preview. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening. Hopefully we'll see O'Connor Park thronged with Offaly people. If it's a tight game, a good Offaly support can become a factor. Thousands of Offaly people willing the team on, vs a few dozen ...

I'd get all the players and management on a bus, load it up with cans, and head off somewhere for a two-day drinking session.
It might help restore team spirit and get them refocussed.

These are the players from Dublin who were able to play senior football for Offaly due to the eligibility allowances. John Coughlan St Sylvesters 2010 - 2011 Niall Coughlan St Sylvesters 2010 Brian Hanamy Kilmacud 2012 Peter Boland Thomas Davis 2012 Shane Horan Kilmacud 2019 - 2021 Ironic that hurli...

Aye, but do you have to play to your potential to beat opposition who you are so far ahead of? Londons ceiling is hardly so high that even if Offaly are only playing at their base level that the result should be like that? London margin of victory was actually a larger number than what offaly manag...

Comfortably, though the 30 point trimming to Armagh would take some topping. In that game vs Armagh, Offaly were just blown out of it. The 2008 qualifier against Down was similar to today because the players were putting management under the bus. Do ya reckon thats what it was? What are the obvious...

'Should' and 'comfortably' are dangerous words to keep bandying about.
The reality is very often different.

Great win today against Leix. It seemed like Leix were held the upper hand for most of the second half before Offaly hit them with two quick goals.
They're not the most heralded group, but they're humming along nicely.

It's unfortunate, but I believe Offaly need to start with a strongish team. The downsides of putting out an experimental team - It sends a message to Offaly players that this game will be a cakewalk and doesn't need to be taken seriously - It fires up Meath. - The game will inevitably be a closer co...

3 out of the 4 teams that finish in 3rd place will go into Preliminary Quarter finals.
Finishing top 3 should be straightforward for Offaly, but if we're scraping through like that, it doesn't bode well for the remainder of the tournament.

Yesterday was nothing to do with tactics. Dublin are on a different level physique wise. It was like Dublin seniors playing the Dublin minors in a challenge match. I know a lot of the Offaly lads and I know the work they put in at training and even the days they aren't training . I'm not sure how D...

Morning after the night before and it's raining. Lol We are better than the tactics used yesterday You can't fault the players attitude but there is questions over the management tactics . You could right a thesis on the game but simple fact Dublin are in a different universe .. Hopefully we will l...

Why????

Declan Kelly should get Superhans75 to do all future team talks! His motivational skills and positivity are off the scale.
